Canaco Acquires a 200 Sq Km Handeni Gold Property - Tanzania

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 4, 2007) - Canaco Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CAN) is pleased to announce the Company has concluded a re-negotiation of the Company's option agreement with Midlands Minerals Corporation ("Midlands") on the New Kilindi prospect, located in the Handeni District, 160 kilometres northwest of the city of Morogoro in the Tanga Region of Tanzania.

Through an arrangement with Midlands, Canaco has reconfigured its landholdings in the Handeni area and has acquired a 100% interest in a 200 sq km prospecting license that will now form part of the Handeni Project, the core of Canaco's exploration program in the region. In exchange for this right, Canaco has relinquished its interest in the non-core peripheral properties, but has not changed other provisions of the agreement with Midlands.

"Relinquishing the prospective ground that is part of the large (2,000 square kilometre) New Kilindi property that could not realistically be scheduled for exploration over the short-term, in exchange for a greater interest in a 200 square kilometre license adjoining Canaco's Magambazi prospect, will allow Canaco to better focus its exploration efforts," said Andrew Lee Smith, Canaco's Chairman and CEO. "This re-organization of the Handeni Project exploration assets has been accomplished with the co-operation of Midlands and Canaco looks forward to further developing our ongoing working relationship in Tanzania."

The prospecting license has been granted and with the issuance of the prospecting license, Canaco will be the sole and beneficial owner of 100% undivided right title and interest in the Handeni property. All applicable fees have been paid in relation to the license. The transaction is conditional on the completion of a revision (as described above) to the existing option agreement between Midlands and Canaco, on the completion of due diligence with respect to title and TSX approval.

The planning, execution and quality control programs at the Handeni Project are under the supervision of Andrew Lee Smith, P.Geo. Mr. Smith is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
